Modular and Flexible Causality Control on the Web
Ajax has allowed JavaScript programmers to create interactive, collaborative, and user-centered Web applications, known as Web 2.0 Applications. These Web applications behave as distributed systems because processors are user machines that are used to send and receive messages between one another. Unsurprisingly, these applications have to address the same causality issues present in distributed systems like the need a) to control the causality between messages sent and responses received and b) to react to distributed causal relations. JavaScript programmers overcome these issues using rudimentary and alternative techniques that largely ignore the distributed computing theory. In addition, these techniques are not very flexible and need to intrusively modify these Web applications. In this paper, we study how causality issues affect these applications and present WeCa, a practical library that allows for modular and flexible control over these causality issues in Web applications. In contrast to current proposals, WeCa is based on (stateful) aspects, message ordering strategies, and vector clocks. We illustrate WeCa in action with several practical examples from the realm of Web applications. For instance, we analyze the flow of information in Web applications like Twitter using WeCa

Baikal-GVD: status and prospects
Baikal-GVD is a next generation, kilometer-scale neutrino telescope under
construction in Lake Baikal. It is designed to detect astrophysical neutrino
fluxes at energies from a few TeV up to 100 PeV. GVD is formed by multi-megaton
subarrays (clusters). The array construction started in 2015 by deployment of a
reduced-size demonstration cluster named "Dubna". The first cluster in its
baseline configuration was deployed in 2016, the second in 2017 and the third
in 2018. The full scale GVD will be an array of ~10000 light sensors with an
instrumented volume of about 2 cubic km. The first phase (GVD-1) is planned to
be completed by 2020-2021. It will comprise 8 clusters with 2304 light sensors
in total. We describe the design of Baikal-GVD and present selected results
obtained in 2015-2017.Comment: 9 pages, 8 figures. Conference proceedings for QUARKS201
Size Matters: Microservices Research and Applications
In this chapter we offer an overview of microservices providing the
introductory information that a reader should know before continuing reading
this book. We introduce the idea of microservices and we discuss some of the
current research challenges and real-life software applications where the
microservice paradigm play a key role. We have identified a set of areas where
both researcher and developer can propose new ideas and technical solutions.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1706.0735
A Bayesian partial identification approach to inferring the prevalence of accounting misconduct
This paper describes the use of flexible Bayesian regression models for
estimating a partially identified probability function. Our approach permits
efficient sensitivity analysis concerning the posterior impact of priors on the
partially identified component of the regression model. The new methodology is
illustrated on an important problem where only partially observed data is
available - inferring the prevalence of accounting misconduct among publicly
traded U.S. businesses
